This week in Explore we have been learning all about construction. We have learned about some of the different machines that help us build things and had a big focus on the importance of planning BEFORE building. We have also talked a lot about how people often notice a need or problem and then build something to fix it. Some of us even tried building things to solve some of our own problems!
We had a challenge set to create a chair out of paper (mostly) that could hold one of our class teddies. It was tricky but lots of us kept trying and some of us even made chairs that were strong enough!
Check out some photos of us hard at work:
Felix spent time making a strong foundation for his building
Ailbhe was super proud of her building that matched her plan!
Kenta worked hard to make his mobilo house match his plan exactly
Peyton and Maia worked together to create this amazing princess tower
Luca W was an expert at planning his ideas before building!
Hugh thought carefully about how to keep the minion up on his chair without falling!
Hugo didn't want bugs getting in our tulip plant so he tried constructing a device to sit on top of the soil and keep the bugs out
Tane followed his plan very carefully while building
Shelby, Logan P and Hudson worked together to make this elaborate train track
Zac P and Tane worked together to follow the plan Tane created
Nina was the first one to build a chair out of paper that could hold one of our soft toys without falling!
Ava worked hard to modify her chair and make it stronger
Te Huriwai and Milana worked together to create this seat out of blocks for the teddy
Noah thought the children needed more books so he planned to create this incredible library!
Charlie followed his plan exactly to make this wide bridge out of lego!
